“To everyone who always warmly supports us,
This is a personal announcement, but we would like to share that WWE’s NARAKU (formerly EVIL) and WWE’s IYO SKY (formerly Io Shirai) are husband and wife.
We each began our paths in professional wrestling in Japan and looked up at different skies, but from the very beginning we shared the same dream of challenging ourselves on the same stage called WWE across the ocean. We feel a deep bond and joy in now being able to stand together as both companions and peers.
As husband and wife, we will continue supporting each other in our daily lives. And as WWE ‘Superstars,’ while sharing the glory and hardships of our individual battles, we will continue striving to elevate one another and push ourselves even further.
We will never forget the gratitude we feel toward all the fans and everyone involved who have supported and guided us until now, and we intend to keep moving forward together toward even greater heights.
We are still inexperienced as a couple, but we sincerely ask for your continued guidance and support in the future as well.

So I just looked through it, and they must have filmed this season a whole year ago or something. We have 25 out of the 27 "Future Greats" who were either already part of at least one of the two previous seasons, could already be seen in Evolve, or were already part of NXT when the first episode of this season came out. Keep in mind that the prize for LFG is literally an NXT contract lol
The most confusing names are Kali Armstrong and Kendal Grey, who were the inaugural and second WWE Evolve Women’s Champions and had both been called up to NXT already, and Elio LeFleur, who also had already made his NXT debut and became WWE Speed Champion before his injury a few weeks ago. Additionally, there is Nikkita Lyons, who is well known to the WWE audience from NXT and Evolve, and Sirena Linton, who was among the names in the mass releases from the last few weeks.
